WILL GO ON WITH THEIR WORK
The contractors who are completing the new
State-house have concluded not to cease work,
but to 60 ahead and wait for their pay until
some means are provided for meeting ex-
penses. They say they cannot quit
without great loss to themselves.
The State house Commissioners claim
they have not instructed the contractors to quit
work. but simply told them they could not be
paid unless some provision was made
the woodwork contract, says he will
go ahead and risk getting his money.
1t is feared the State will become involved in a
heavy additional expense if the larger contract
ors snouiu quit work now, Ior later tney mignt
have reason to claim that the price of labor and
material had advanced. They will probably de-
| mand interest if they complete their contracts

Decay of the Paper Collar.

There was time when the paper
collar reigned supreme. 1t encircled
the masculine neck from Maine to
California, and attained great popu-
larity as an article of feminine attire !;
nested in boxes Of every variety Of
color and style of adornment, it added
attractiveness to the furnishing-store
windows: in its decaying stages it
filed cutters, lent variety to ash heaps,
and dotted the landscape along the
line of every railroad in the country,
dividing honors across the West
ern plains with the abandoned
tin can. Its stronghold was
in the crowded metropolis, but its trail
extended into the remotest backwoods
district. 1t would seem, considering
this immense popularity, that Mr..
Meserole, the inventor of the collar
must have been insured against pow
erty for the rest of his days, but such
it seems, is not the case. A bigamy
trial in New York, in which a member
of the family is involved, brings out
the fact that the wealth which accrued
from the patent has, like the collar
itself, vanished, no man can tel
whittier; that the Meseroles have
nothing left but character, and, if the
bigamy trial is an indication, no
much of that. Perhaps there is {
